I'm going on vacation in April, AND I just found out that I owe a bunch of money to the IRS this year. So I'm really anxious to bolster my funds a bit. For this reason, I'm willing to sell many of my recasts that I no longer want/need for low, low prices. These are all RECASTS. Most are from hobbyfan, some are from a higher quality source. All kits have been checked for parts, nothing is missing/broken. Complete with manual.

Shipping is to be determined, based on what kits(s) you want, where you live, and what method you want the kit(s) shipped by.

Please contact me ASAP if you are seriously interested in any of these. You can post questions here, send me a private message, or email me at wulongt@hotmail.com

I don't have a paypal account, so I'll need payment by money order (post office money is fine for those living in the USA), cashier's check (from a bank), cash (risky), or personal check (will need to allow time for it to clear before shipping kits). If you want to buy a bunch but will only deal with Paypal, we may be able to work out something where you paypal the money to a friend of mine's account, and then the friend can forward the money to me via other means. But I'd only go through that amount of hassle if you're interested in quite a few of the kits.

I'm bummed out now.

I do feel bad about that, but you did say you wanted to pass in the end.

Since I don't have paypal, I, too, have to take the trouble to go to the bank and get money orders when I buy anything from a private seller. I've had to get a MO every time I've won something on ebay..

BUt when you go get a MO, isn't there a fee charge by the post office? So, realistically, you pay more because of the two way gasoline and time loss in line up in post office.

They all have to charge a fee to cover rental, labor etc. I agree w/ you if the amt. is high, then definitely worth getting a MO because the fee, about $3 or so, is the same regardless of the amt. of the MO.

Whereas w/ paypal, if the amt. is $1K, then it's a loss of $35 from the other side. But w/ the small amt. that you are asking for, 3 - 3.5% surcharge is nothing compares to the gasoline & time you spent.

If you buy a pet from pet stores , you are encouraging those breeders to breed more. This is the condition that they lives in:

In the end it was what Happy pointed out that made me pass. The lines at the Bank and Post office are terrible in my nieborhood and, at the time my work schedule forced me to try and do all this on my lunch break.

It was just bad timing. It really is very common in the garage kit culture to charge the fee to the buyer. I've paid the 3% on some expensive models without complaint.

Since I'm already losing 50% or more of my investment on some of these kits.

I'm curious, I have read seller in this situation before even at ebay. And in those cases, the seller said add 3% if you pay via paypal. for MO, no extra 3%. You can just tell everyone what you just said the above, about the massive loss, so if they paid via paypal, add 3%.
